Obata's Yosemite

Directed by Adam Prieto

Obata's Yosemite considers the impact that visits to Yosemite National Park and California’s High Sierras had on the life and work of the influential Japanese American artist and educator Chiura Obata. His story takes a poignant turn during World War II, when he, along with 125,000 other Japanese Americans, were forcibly relocated to concentration camps.
